GG WP: How to Write $10 Million Like a Pro Gamer
You just unlocked a $10 million tournament prize pool. But how do you actually write that kind of hardcore cash? This guide has you covered with the lingo to scribe eye-popping eight-figure payouts.
Abbreviating $10 Million for Fragging Rights
In the high-stakes world of esports, seven-figure prize pools are epic but ten million takes it to the next level. When summarizing massive purses we‘ve unlocked, using abbreviations keeps it clean.
10M – The "M" checks out as instant gamer shorthand for $1 million. String ten of those bad boys together and we‘re rolling in the big bucks.
10MM – The double M is an OG money move, doubling down on the M to mean "millions." Business insiders dig this, but it still plays in gaming.
10mil – Going casual with "mil" gets the point across, perfect for hyping up record-setting prize pools.
| Abbreviation | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 10M | 10 million |
| 10MM | 10 million |
| 10mil | 10 million |
Gaming Grammarians officially vibe with all three. But if you‘re writing to outsiders, spell out the full "Ten Million" to avoid confusion.
$10 Million Moments that Made Gaming History
Esports events with eight-figure prize pools used to be rare game-changers. Now $10 million in the pool is almost an expectation for elite tournaments.
– 2022 League of Legends Worlds: Riot Games kept Worlds hype by once again locking in a $10M prize purse. Pro play doesn‘t get much bigger than the battle for the Summoner‘s Cup!
– 2022 Dota 2 The International: Dota 2 sets the gold standard, cracking $10MM and beyond thanks to crowdfunded Battle Pass sales. The International 2022 crossed $17 mil as pool ballooned to new heights!

With esports exploding, expect more sick cash giveaways crossing into eight figures. The dream prize pool may one day hit $100 mil!
Breaking Down the Zeros – $10 Million on Lock
Wondering how many zeros trailed on a baller payout like $10 million? Lucky number seven!
10,000,000
That‘s 10 million written out numerically. We count the one "1", then seven zeros in those commas for a prime power-up.
Gamers gotta have an eye for detail, so knowing the exact zero-count for a life-altering purse separates the leggos from the casuals!
Here‘s $10 million visualized with all its zeros stacked in glory:
Let‘s frag out and hope our next prizepool has digits for days!
Mastering "MM" and Money initials
Wondering whether to roll with "M" or "MM" for writing millions? The double M Squad runs ancient, going back over 2000 years!
Breaking it down:
- "M" was the Roman numeral for 1,000
- "MM" doubled down to mean 1,000 x 1,000 = 1 million
So finance ballers adopted the iconic MM millions tag. We kept it in the gaming lexicon because two M‘s is simply more money!
We see this across money initials:
- K for $1,000
- M for $1 million
- B for $1 billion
So if you dominated esports and stacked a billion-dollar bankroll, you‘d be cruising the B life!
In Closing, Get That Cash and Never Forget Your Roots!
Hopefully now you‘ve got all the inside info needed to translate programmed prize pools into iRL big bucks!
We‘re making history here – the future of gaming millionaires starts now. Just promise me that when you own half of LA with your diamond-crusted hot tub, you‘ll still hit me up for duo queue! 😎
